Matthew Ware joined the CPC learning network as a Graduate Research Assistant in January 2024. He is a first-year student at the Columbia Mailman School of Public Health in the Population and Family Health Department with a certificate in Public Health and Humanitarian Action. Matthew is passionate about CPC’s goal of re-examining the children’s’ rights field to center children and youth and has been interested in this topic ever since he campaigned for the U.S. to ratify the Convention on the Rights of the Child as a high school student. Prior to beginning his Master’s in Public Health, Matthew spent three years at a community health clinic working on program metrics and evaluation and supporting Street Medicine/homeless health initiatives. Matthew completed his bachelor’s degree in Global Affairs from Yale-NUS College in Singapore. In his free time he can be found baking in the very small 50 Haven Avenue kitchen.
